Salute To The General
Chapter 2541

A few soldiers stepped forward and removed Rogan's combat suit for him.

Shock and disappointment was written all over Rogan's face.

With a grim expression, he said, "I've lost. I have to admit that Eurasia's Chief Military Governor is an extremely powerful fighter. I guess the only person from Remdik who's a match for him would be Leopold, our very own God of War." Everyone gasped in shock when they heard the man's words.

Rogan was known to be fearless. Also, he had always been reluctant to submit to Leopold, their God of War.

However, that day, he had readily admitted that he was weaker than Eurasia's Chief Military Governor, and at the same time, indirectly admitted that he was inferior to Leopold.

That came as a surprise to Gammon.

However, when Leopold, who was standing at an inconspicuous spot heard Rogan's words, instead of feeling happy, he felt a hint of displeasure.

Leopold knew Rogan very well and was aware that the man had been feeling indignant toward him.

As such, it was very clear to Leopold that Rogan had set a trap for him by saying that he was the only one who was a match for Eurasia's Chief Military Governor.

After all, it made sense for a man who had lost miserably to an opponent to be delighted to see his competitor lose to the same opponent.

Leopold was certain that Rogan only wanted to see him being defeated by Nathan as well.

If the same thing happened to him, losing to the man would not be that humiliating for Rogan.

As Leopold had completely seen through Rogan's intentions, his expression grew colder.

However, it was also because of Rogan's words that he suddenly had the attention of everyone, including Gammon's.

As his subordinates had suffered consecutive losses to Eurasia's Chief Military Governor, Gammon seemed to be panicking as well, anxious to turn the tables.

When he spotted Leopold, the president exclaimed excitedly, "General Remington, when did you arrive?"

Just when Leopold was about to reply, Gammon carried on speaking enthusiastically, "Your timing is perfect. Our Remdik soldiers have been losing to Eurasia's Chief Military Governor continuously, regardless in terms of military simulations or combat skills. Since you're our God of War, you have to help Remdik get even, so that we won't be completely humiliated. How about you represent us to compete against Eurasia's Chief Military Governor in the next fight?" Hearing that, Leopold replied hesitantly, "President Gammon, this..." Before he managed to complete his sentence, he was interrupted by Rogan who said coldly, "General Remington, are you scared of Eurasia's Chief Military Governor?"

Even though Leopold knew that Rogan was intentionally provoking him, he could not help but feel his anger spiking.

The man replied in an indifferent tone, "For the past twenty years I served in the military, I have experienced countless battles and have not lost a single one of them. Do you think I'll be such a scaredy cat? Besides, it's just a mock combat battle." Rogan was at a loss for words and did not know what to reply.

Indeed, over the past twenty years, Leopold had taken part in countless battles. With his iron fists, he grew from just an ordinary soldier to the God of War of Remdik, who was recognized globally.

His strong abilities were beyond a doubt, and it was ridiculous for anyone to think that he would be afraid.

In the end, it was Gammon who tried to defuse the situation.

"Leopold is our God of War and the country's treasure. Of course, there's no way he would be a scaredy-cat. However, this matter concerns our country's reputation. As such, General Remington, you have to come forward and compete against Eurasia's Chief Military Governor. We have to show them how powerful our strongest warrior is."

Since Gammon was the country's president, Leopold had to show him some respect. In a polite manner, he explained, "President Gammon, I just think that it is rather dishonorable for us to challenge Eurasia's Chief Military Governor continuously..."

Hearing that, Gammon laughed and replied, "You don't have to worry about that. Chief Cross seems like an upright and easygoing man to me. I don't think he will be that calculative. If you don't believe me, I will get someone to ask for his consent right away." Right after he finished speaking, the president turned toward his subordinate, instructing him to get Nathan's opinion.

However, just then, he noticed Sofie, his youngest daughter, who was next to him and changed his mind.

"Sofie, can you ask the governor if he's willing to have a duel with Leopold, Remdik's God of War?"

Sofie understood that it was her father's way of showing Nathan respect by sending her to ask for his consent.
